The events that cannot be missed during your Archweek(end)!

Born as an “heir” of the MI/ARCH Festival, the first edition of the Milan Archweek that began June 12 will be a week of widespread events, lectures, readings, meetings open to the public and dedicated to architecture and urban transformations that will animate the city until June 18.

The event will be coordinated by the artistic direction of Stefano Boeri and will be involved not only the School of Architecture from the Politecnico of Milan, but also the local Order of Architects and several professional studios of the city that will be opened to the public.

The debate will embrace technologies, materials, and then the vision of designers, the synergies between public and private, the social role of architecture in the territory. Confirmed the participation of Peter Eisenman, the catalans RCR (Pritzker Prize 2017 winners), Liz Diller (New York High Line designer), Francis Kéré (african architect author of the next Serpentine Gallery Pavilion), as well as well-known international architects such as Winy Maas, Philippe Rahm, Sam Jacob, Petra Blaisse (author of the new Porta Nuova Park) and Chinese urbanist Lee Xianing. Of course, there will be also several famous Italian architects such as Alessandro Scandurra, Cino Zucchi, Benedetta Tagliabue, Italo Rota, Carlo Ratti, Patricia Urquiola, Mario Bellini, Michele De Lucchi and Alessandro Mendini, plus Baukuh, Startt, TAM Associates, Aoumm, LAN, Metrogramma and young emerging Italian/international groups including Parasite 2.0, Raumplan, Small, Fosbury Architecture and Waiting Posthuman Studio.
